iPhone Shortcut bug on iOS 6

[adriantornoe]

Yesterday I updated to iOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS (32 GB) and have discovered that I cannot use the shortcuts i created on iOS 5 - even though I can see them on my list of shortcuts in the Settings app.

E.g. I have a shortcut, "ss", which would create a smiley "". But when I type "ss" it autocorrects to "S's". I have tried to delete and then recreate a shortcut and it doesn't work. I have also tried to reboot and that doesn't work either.

Hope anyone has experienced the same problem and has a solution for it.

Thanks

I had started a thread yesterday about this, and no solution yet. But others are having the same problem.

I had tried EVERYTHING!!! all of the other

[/COLOR]I had tried EVERYTHING!!! all of the other bugs I could deal with but I have a ton of shortcuts and it really pissed me off that they weren't working. I wound up doing a combination of things and it worked and has been working for the last 7 hours. before any fix would have been temporary. here's what worked for me....

1. go into shortcuts and delete one of them.
2. get out of there and then go back in and create one.
3. restart phone
done and done!!! happy iOS 6 user now hope this works for everyone!!!

p.s. iPhone 4 with vzw

Ok, I'll try that. Do you have to do this with every shortcut??

Gives me problems on the iPhone 4. On the iPhone 5 it works perfect… not sure why as they are the same OS.
